The interpositionof the Massachusetts Emigrant AidSociety, with their vaunliuj and boastsing, and threatening, and then somemen of Missouri following their example, was all wrong.

Burton.Mr. Burton, well known as the persevering Prosecutor in the great Martha 'Washington case, died at his residence in this city yesterday morning,He had been ill for some time, and hisrecovery was not expected by his physicians or friends. He met his fatecalmly and uncomplainingly. It hasbeen suspected that Mr. li. was poisoned by some one of the desperateang implicated in the burning ot thelartha Washington,The Herald says:"Mr. Button has sacrificed himselfin his Herculean efforts to ferret outiniquity. Even if it cannot be madeto appear that he was poisoned by thegang of knaves whose tracks he hasso long followed, it is certain that hisexposures, the dangers he has undergone, and the excitement he has consequently endured, have wrecked asgood a constitution as ever man wasblessed with. We believe, however,(hat he has fallen by the murderer'sband; that in some way he was poisoned, although Burton's abstemious habits ahhost defied all attempts to givehim deadly drinks. While sick inftew York, a glass of wine was sentto him, with the regards of the landlady, but as Burton never drank wineor spires, it was untouched, althoughno design was suspected. It turnedout that the landlady did not. send it,and, moreover, upon an analyzalion itwas found to contain poison enough tokill three men."Mr, Burton was well known to manyof our citizens, and his death wilt bedeeply lamented. He possessed thosequalities which endeared him to. allwhose, fortune it was to enjoy nisfriendship. He was a true man. Buthe has fallen in the meridian ot life,while treading in the pth oi duty; andit must be a consolation to his bereaved family to know that his death willbe lamented by good men everywhere.Cltwander(QS o e m k .A very small boyiahtinrra very (area cicar. ahd a vervD , ,. , . .old centlemar, watching the ignitingptocesspver his spectacles.I'reopcious youm, Slave a weed,grandpa?Astonished old gent.
